Hey chaps,

Got the chance to buy some 13" steels with good tyres for £30 and just wondering if they will fit over my brakes? The car was originally a 320i and although it has had an M20 conversion, im pretty sure the brakes are still standard size.

Im sure they will fit over the rear drums but not sure on the front discs/calipers. From what I can see they came with 14" steels as spares, but nothing with 13's :?

Any help would be good, cheers!

Eh?

Do you mean a M50 conversion ????

I dont think i have heard anyone running 13" wheels on the E30.....

Nope, pretty sure I mean M20. It was originally a 320 (M20B20), and is now a 325(M20B25). Maybe 'conversion' is a bit ambiguous, how does transplant sound? :P

And thanks. I get the feeling they might be a bit small, but it would be great if they do fit....

14" is the smallest you can fit on a standard setup !

Ah boo.. :( Surely they would go over the rear drums though? May just buy them and use them for burnout/drifting etc on the back of the car....
